Sonora Park Pond
II. Originated by:
Larry Hoover, Streets and Parks Supervisor
III. Summary:
Recently Blue -Green Algae infected our pond at Sonora Park and total loss of 2,991 fish. We are
working with the Texas Parks and Wildlife to restock our pond, however since this is a state-wide issue
we don't have an exact date for the restock yet. Please visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife website to
learn more about this Blue-Green Algae.

Blue-green algae
Blue-green algae are also called cyanobacteria because they are biologically similar to bacteria in
many ways. As single cells, large colonies and filaments, blue-green algae grow in a wide variety
of conditions and can become dominant in nutrient-rich water bodies. One characteristic of these
cyanobacteria is their ability to form blooms so thick it appears that blue-green paint covers the
surface of the water.
Two forms found in Texas are known to produce substances which cause taste and odor
problems in water supplies. In some cases, blue-green algae, particularly Anabaena and
Microcystis (both found in Texas), can produce toxins that are poisonous to fish and wildlife that
drink water contaminated with the toxins. Fish kills have occurred in private stock ponds as a
result of blue-green algal blooms and there have been a few reports of livestock dying from
drinking water contaminated with blue-green toxins. In addition to toxicity to fish and wildlife,
there are documented cases of blue-green algal toxins harming humans in other parts of the
world through the consumption of poorly treated waters. Awareness is growing of the need to
ensure blue-green algal toxins do not pass through water treatment plants without being
adequately removed.
